‘He who relies on relatives and friends die poor’: class closure and stratagems of civility in peri‐urban Kenya

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 326-346, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Africanist anthropology has tended to paint social relations on the continent in a positive light, giving the impression that a pro‐social relationality will provide the poor with economic assistance in moments of need. This article troubles these accounts by turning to Kenya, where a history of socioeconomic stratification has created a ...

Application of habitat association models across regions: Useful explanatory power retained in wetland bird case study

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Species often exhibit regionally specific habitat associations, so habitat association models developed in one region might not be accurate or even appropriate for other regions. Three programs to survey wetland‐breeding birds covering (respectively) Great Lakes coastal wetlands, inland Great Lakes wetlands, and the Prairie Pothole Region ...

The effectiveness and cost efficiency of different predator exclosure designs to increase piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nest success and fledging rate in Alberta, Canada

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
A nesting piping plover (Charadrius melodus) inside a predator exclosure in Alberta, Canada. Image credit: Gordon Court. Abstract An estimated 30% of the North American piping plover (Charadrius melodus) breeding population occurs in Canada, where it is Endangered.

Summer elk calf survival in a partially migratory population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
We investigated reproductive parameters of adult female elk with calves at heel, and survivorship, cause‐specific mortality, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting risk of mortality for calves in a partially migratory elk population from 2013–2016 in Alberta, Canada.

Brothers, friends, and enemies: averting intimacy on Facebook in western India

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 938-955, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Anthropological studies of the internet have traced the emergence of new forms of intimacy in various arenas of life, including friendship. Drawing upon an ethnography of Facebook and its use among young lower‐middle‐class men in Pune, Maharashtra, western India, the article investigates the discourse of friendship young men deploy on the ...

Evaluating expert‐based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS‐tracking data

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1526-1541, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with

A framework to identify priority wetland habitats and movement corridors for urban amphibian conservation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 2, April–June 2022., 2022
We develop and test an urban conservation framework to support amphibian conservation (relating to urban planning and management activities). Working with planners, residents, and ecologists, we identified the eight critical steps in a framework for effective integration of conservation and management.

A novel method for estimating utility harmonic impedance based probabilistic evaluation

IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1438-1448, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Here, a novel method for estimating utility harmonic impedance (UHI) based on probabilistic evaluation is proposed. By analysing harmonic data, it is determined that UHI tends to obey a particular distribution, that varies with the amplitude of the background harmonics.

Beyond the encounter: Predicting multi‐predator risk to elk (Cervus canadensis) in summer using predator scats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
This manuscript provides a novel, noninvasive alternative to time/duration‐intensive methods for incorporating a much‐neglected mortality component in quantifying predation risk at the landscape scale. We apply the method to show the implications for understanding the conservation of migratory behavior of a large herbivore in a multi‐predator system ...

A Discourse on Smoothing Parameterizations using Hypothetical Dataset

Journal of Applied Science, Information and Computing, 2020
The univariate kernel estimator usually requires a smoothing parameter, unlike the multi-dimensional estimators that necessarily require more smoothing parameters.
